But the world is having weather extremes everywhere

It is, and the global warming proponents have been warning of extreme weather events such as we're experiencing for many years. 2010 was also almost the warmest year on record, globally.

Queensland in Australia is having more problems with flooding, it seems to be getting worse and not better.  If you are reading this Jas, would your old house over there and also Binkie's have been affected by these floods?

 $cool$ The bottom photo, is that a residence on the right?

I was just imagining myself inside, standing behind the lower window, watching the rising water level.

Yes, it's part of the Old Tannery complex. Think that area has been flooded on a few occasions. It's very pleasant in Summer:

This photo in the Daily Post made me laugh, taken on the A470 just before Maenan. Some people really are thick.

Not before time-- haven't seen the chappie who lives/lived there for a week or two, but he still trails to Llandudno from the Bay.

I spoke with him a week or two ago and he was his usual cheerful, chirpy self. He's living in Colwyn Bay at the moment but is hopeful that his current situation will bump him up a few places on the Council/Housing Association list.

Let's hope he finds some "stable" acommodation soon!
